Sweet Heart
Editor's Note: Harbinger Asylum published the original version of this poem in October 2015.
He’d seen it glint earlier when a shaft of light hit the open box. He kept watch till they left. Back now, still watchful. Turn his head this way, then that. No cats. No humans.
Upturned the box
and seized his prize glinting gold among the dull browns and creams. Carried it off. Then carried it home, a home now fit for his new lover, his sweet heart. But he didn’t unwrap it. Didn’t discover the greater prize lying under the surface glitter. Didn’t find the jewel of sweetness in the centre. Soon life dulled the surface glitter, screwed it up. And the sweet heart melted in the warmth, Melted into sticky goo. Melted away as sweet hearts do. #Unreal #Poetry #LynnWhite #SweetHeart #MeltMe #SweetDreams #FindTheJewel #ThinkOutsideOfTheBox Visit our shop and subscribe. Sponsor us.
